Fill a martini shaker with ice and over it pour the tequila, passion fruit juice and lime juice. Gently shake 8 to 10 drops of habanero sauce into the mix (or as much as you can stand) close and shake well until the shaker frosts. Strain into two ice filled tumblers or rocks glasses and garnish with a slice of lime or a small, decorative pepper. Serve and enjoy, repeat as necessary!

As written this recipe will yield 2 amazing cocktails. The passion fruit and tequila are a match made in heaven and the habanero kick is present, but not overwhelming. By all means go easy on the hot sauce if you're shy but, trust me, its a necessary addition. It will awaken your palate ... and make you hunger for the next sip.

If you use the Ceres brand the drink will not be sweet, there's no sugar added. The finish on this little beauty is intoxicating ... not in the boozy sense, but in the enchanting sense. It tastes like a real margarita with the volume turned UP.

This is a drink that's meant to be shared. Its a sexy, spicy, smack-your-lips-and-call-me-Divalicous concoction that's sure to light your fire. Over the top? Perhaps, but mix yourself up one of these and don't say I didn't warn you.

What a neat recipe! Once upon a time I did a little bartending so that sounds like an interesting mix. I don't think this is one that would work very well virginized. However, I will pass it on to my friends who enjoy a cocktail (or 7) every(day) once in a while

I agree with Mom - I'll pass on this one, but do please by all means, etc, etc. Tequila is not for me: it tastes like something you should be sterilising needles with rather than ingesting. Here in England at the moment we have just the sort of hot, muggy weather that cries out for cold, crisp, clean G&T, so this weekend I propose to splash out on some of that cucumber-flavoured gin you brought to our attention.

It's like a kiss with a kick! I love sweet cocktails but this would be my first spicy one - can't wait to try (although I'm going to be a bit wussy and not put quite as much hot sauce at first. Gotta work up to it!)

About Me

Must I really describe myself here? You know me, you love me, you can't live without me. I'm just your typical every day Diva with a tiara in one hand and a bag of Doritos in the other. Sure I need to lose some weight, but what else is new? Pay strict attention cuz there will be a quiz. Warning, there's going to be a lot of chicken recipes posted here ... and no small amount of cursing.
